Soul's POV

I didn't mean it. Those words that I said to everybody were a lie.

Maka's not a loser though she is a nerd.

Maka's not rachet, just a little clumsy.

Maka's not rich nor desperate instead, she has dignity.

I lied so I could keep Maka safe from everybody to be exact.

Everybody would think that I'm saying kind words and supporting her that they would get the wrong idea saying that I like her!

Like that would ever happen!

So I embarrassed her, besides, I couldn't have my reputation ruined byher.

"That's my job" I said while holding Maka's hand.

It was warm and soft, I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it.

"Anyways, I need to talk to this loser alone, so everybody, out" I said firmly and half-annoyed.

Everybody nodded and push each other out but then the group of girls started talking.

"Why'd you start rumors about her that weren't even true then? Do you like her or something? Try'd to catch her attention?" The girl that I winked at.

Immediately I turned around and spoke up.

"I started rumors because I hate it, when people mess with me" I stated angrily.

The girl looked up and saw me. Next thing I know, she;s giggling and waving flirtatious at me.

But I turned my back and ignored her "Get the hell out, I told everybody else to, you're not anyone special" I declared while smirking to myself.

The girls gasped and I could her "HMPH!" and their high heels stomping as they walked out.

I gave out a "phew" before I looked at Maka.

She had her head tilted and was looking at me confused-like.

I sighed "Sorry Maka, I-" But Maka cut me off.

"No Soul, I'M sorry for embarrassing you like that. I'm sorry that we met and stuff because I'm pretty sure that you could've scored with one of those chicks if it weren't for me" she said sadly.

"Also, I'll promise to stay out of your life, I shouldn't have messed with you" Maka then gave out a sigh while turning her head towards the door.

I'm not worth your time so I'll just go" Then after that, she let go of my hand and walked away.

For some reason though I couldn't let that happen. I didn't want that to happen!

So I turned my head to look at her. I quickly ran to her and took her wrist.

Maka was startled, she turned her head with some tears in her eyes, she frowned at me.

"Let me go Soul, leave me alone" she said sadly while looking down and trying to pull her wrist back to her.

But I wouldn't let her. I wouldn't because I realized what I had to do.

"Tell me something Maka" I started. I looked into her eyes and they gave me goosebumps.

"Why do I like you so much?" I said confused. I tilted my head a bit while Maka was wide-eyed.

"What-" she started but then I cut her off.

I did, by kissing her.
